All school staff travel must be approved by the Regional Director. Requests are submitted using the Department’s travel system and detail the travel destination(s), purpose and expected outcomes. In 2017–18, school-based staff from the State’s 1,531 government schools recorded 535 overseas trips.

The Department is committed to ensuring transparency and accountability in how it spends public money. Reporting school staff’s overseas travel supports transparency and ensures compliance under the Public Administration Act 2004, the Code of Conduct for Victorian Public Sector Employees and whole-of-government guidelines. Overseas travel may also be reported in Schools’ annual reports. Information provided in Table 4 is extracted from the Department’s travel system and includes department-funded, self-funded and mixed-funded travel events.

ARC provides direct advice to the Secretary on governance, risk management, audit and control assurance activities.

During 2017–18, ARC held six meetings and convened one special meeting to workshop the internal audit four-year plan. ARC revised and approved its terms of reference in December 2017. ARC oversaw governance, risk management, audit and control assurance activities to advise the Secretary as to whether the Department’s internal processes were operating within an acceptable level of risk and whether appropriate controls are in place to meet external regulatory and public accountability requirements. In fulfilling its responsibilities under the Standing Directions, ARC endorsed the annual financial statements certification process for 2016–17 in August 2017.
